  • Consider the leaders across the organization you would work with to roll out the product or service. Which leadership styles and skills might you encounter as you work with various individuals?
  • What opportunities and challenges may arise as a result of individuals with differing leadership styles and skills working together? How would you work on a team or in a group with those whose style differs from your own?

By Day 3
